An identity removed a Conditional Access policy.

Attacker's Goals

• An attacker attempts to change Active Directory configuration for persistence or defense evasion.

Investigative actions

• Check implications of the policy being removed.
• Check whether the user changing the configuration is permitted to perform such actions.
